Pick the Goal Scorer: February 4 vs Nashville Predators
Last night’s game turned into a goaltender battle, with Jaroslav Halak coming out on top with a shut out. The Blues were only able to score one goal on Jonathan Quick. That goal came from Jamie Langenbrunner, who none of our readers picked to score! Hopefully, our fans have better luck picking the goal scorer...

My Take: In a Thinning Field One Name Stands Tall
As a few of you read yesterday, I don’t fall in to the camp that fears a trade destroying team chemistry. The benefit of addressing needs greatly outweighs the risk of making a couple of guys unhappy that their buddy was traded. It’s a business and there is the whole franchise’s future to consider. If...
My Take: Don’t Fear a Loss of Chemistry
Team chemistry is certainly very important and is a primary contributing factor the Blues’ current success. Such a statement meets little resistance among fans and media alike. Yet, the favorite question of the former lurks in the quiet corners of St. Louis, waiting for an opportunity boisterously jump out like Louie the pantless bear....

Tom Stillman Signs Purchase Agreement
Last night Blues fans were on the edges of their seats as the boys in blue slid by the Edmonton Oilers in a 1-0 shutout victory. This morning Blues fans have yet another reason to be on the edge of their seats as reports are flying that Tom Stillman has signed a purchase agreement to...
New Sheriff in the West
Don’t look now, but the St. Louis Blues are in first place in the Central Division and sit second in the Western Conference. Yes, I said it, the St. Louis Blues – the team that has only made the playoffs once in the past six seasons, and the team that hasn’t been to the playoffs...
Video: Classy Salute to Halak by Canadiens Fans
The St. Louis Blues pretty much coasted on to a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens following Jaroslav Halak‘s momentous 1st period save on former teammate Tomas Plekanec‘s shorty attempt.
